Hope you have a great time Kat and possible bonus of good weather will be a bonus. Best not mention who you are on this sight when being quizzed by the Law on the gate as the mere mention of a Japanese fighting sword will have you surrounded[:p]
Thanks Radar, I wondered “weather” that could be a winner. I recall they predicted a GOOD summer, how bad would it have been if they had hadn’t!!

Due next year Tron 2 aka Tron Legacy, looks cool[

Welcome to The Bike Forum mecanic, what else do you have then?, I cant say ride just yet can I, hope you can get through the dreaded test soon.
Well it has taken a long time to add to this post, a WHOLE YEAR. This is my 1st attempt to join video clips together using Microsoft Movie Maker. Yes this is the 2008’s event.
And yet another slight mod courtesy of trawling ebay, this time a varient related seat cover which I’ve affixed OVER the original. 100 staples later ……

Well even though the weather was forecast to be wet both myself and my girlfriend Kath decided we’d be going regardless, so the 1000 remained tucked in the garage in the dry, and as the 600 was already unwashed from attending the Renault World Series at Silverstone two weeks previous that would be the weapon of choice for the day. My mate Goff decided upon his Street Triple as against his VFR400. We set off in the drizzle but that fizzled away to nothing and all was dry as we headed out from Kidderminster through Bromyard and Hereford on towards Abergavenny, that latter road the A465 is an absolute cracker with long straight stretches and long fast bends what a joy if plod isn’t about! After Abergavenny it was the Heads of the Valleys road and thats when the rain started which was torrential at times but for some strange reason the moisture on this occasion didn’t get through any of the gear I was wearing. Into Aberdare and bikes stored in a secure compound (actually a little theatre car park)for £3 and what bike gear you didn’t wish to carry around left securely for a further £1 (All your gear if the weather is dry and sunny if you take additional shorts, T-shirt, trainers etc) and then just a quarter mile walk into the park, having nipped into one of the locals if your partial. £11 entrance fee and we were in. Very few spectators attended this year due to the poor weather conditions which was a great pity as this little jewel of an event is most enjoyable and unspoiled by the trappings of our modern times (I guess H & S must be on the back burner) I’ll leave the report here and just let the pics show what the event has to offer. The rain persisted for most of the day with just the odd sunny interval, non of which dried the circuit which remained wet all day. The last race of the day had to be red flagged due to a large pool of water collecting on the racing line due to a downpour which is apparent in my last shot. Yes I will be going again next year, any takers?

I think its a massive intrusion on our liberty. I remember the fuel crisis back in the 70’s it was a real pain being limited to 50mph.
